(A) Upon receipt of an application for a new license, the Code Enforcement Officer shall provide the applicant 15 days notice to schedule an inspection of the business premises, unless the application does not comply with requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The Officer will make a determination whether the business premises complies with the provisions of the village’s Building Code, Property Maintenance Code, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable ordinances and regulations of the village. The Code Enforcement Officer must find the business premises compliant with each code identified herein within a six-month period prior to the renewal of an annual license. Unresolved violations reported by the Will County Health Department, the Frankfort Fire Protection District, or other authority of competent jurisdiction, shall be deemed sufficient reason to preclude license renewal, provided, however, that reasonable notice and time are provided to correct each item of violation.
(B) Following the inspection, the Code Enforcement Officer shall provide the applicant a written report listing any code violations and establishing a time-table for compliance and correction of each item of violation.
(C) No license shall be issued until any code violations that constitute a clear and present danger to the public health, safety, and general welfare are completely rectified. Licenses can be issued if minor code violations exist and a timetable for their correction is in place.
(D) No business license shall be issued to any establishment whose owners are indebted to the village.
(E) Each license issued by the village shall bear the corporate seal of the village. Each license shall be dated, shall state to whom it is issued, for what purpose, the location at which such business is to be conducted, and the date when the license is to expire.
(F) When a license certificate is delivered to any licensee which has designated a premises in which the licensed business is to occur, it shall be the duty of such licensee to post the license certificate in a conspicuous location upon the licensed premises within five days of receipt of same.
